The Day After

The Phillies were spread all around the world yesterday. Waiting underneath the tree and secured snugly in my stocking were 2 bumper stickers, a 3-D car air freshener, a championship flag, a #1 Phils Phan license plate, big P magnet, a championship plaque with Howard and Burrell, and my son got a ball and bat, while my dad received a Phils gnome.

Knowing how I messed up in 1980 and only bought one thing and a bumper sticker, this year going nuts on WFC stuff:

- Framed QVC Phillies WS with a photo of the Tugger on the left and the 2008 mound mash on the right. In the center is a piece of baseball cover with stitch holes of a ball that the MLB certifies was used in a Phillies game. (WS?)- World Series 2008 single DVD.- The black official WFC cap.- Gray WFC T-shirt.- Phillies WFC card set.- Phillies WFC Monopoly Game.

Stuff that was ordered late and should arrive any day:- Phillies WFC Santa hat.- Phillies WFC Christmas Stocking- Facsimile Autographed Phillies team ball.- Classic Red Phillies T-shirt with Howard's name and number on the back.- 8-inch WFC replica trophy paperweight.- A WFC pennant.- the 8 DVD WFC set.

My wife got the Gray WFC T-shirt, too! We share all the other stuff.

We found the Schuylkill Valley Sports on the web. They have a nice selection and reasonable prices.

Don't fall for that SI deal on TV. It's a rip. You can get the magazine a lot cheaper with an NFL team shirt and jacket and with the difference in price ($50) buy your ball for $10 at Schuylkill Valley and pocket the difference. Beware of the SI automatic renewal button that they make you click before ordering.
